Shhh...don't tell my wife but she's a big part of the problem.

'I can't seem to lose weight. Wanna eat a bag of chips while we watch something?'

Doomed to failure.

Chips are not big in our house.
Sweets and chocolates are. Sweets drawer always is full, for at least a day till I get to it.
I would post a picture but GTAM picture size limit won't allow me. :ROFLMAO:

Thanks. Will call my local Costco.

My 10-year old son seems to like my Big Red stool from PA, and he always seems to be stealing it.

Wow, $130! That ain't cheap.

I like the $10 I bought from another friendly GTAMer. That thing has saved me countless pains.

I should talk to my 3d printing buddies to build some storage in it for me.

You bought it used for $10. That stool is 80 or 90 new. The incremental cost to the drawer seems entirely worth it to me. The milk crate and a tool bag could have worked but the tool bag would get pillaged and/or sockets would become free range.

Oh don’t get me wrong…I’m already looking for the one you linked as a used unit…
 
We're the same age. My job is quite physical (licensed carpenter/general contractor).

I'm in better shape than friends that are 5 years younger. Some is genetics. Some is lifestyle. I eat like crap too, but I check out okay at the doctors, and I only weigh 172lbs, @ 6'2"

Interesting. Thats the amazon version that sells for $180. Tray is a drawer instead of lift out which is better (assuming seat height is accurate, you don't want higher than 18" if you are working close to the ground).

@mimico_polak
South Mississauga (Dixie and Dundas,) has over 50 in stock.
 
Moderation is key as you get older, at least it's been working for me.
Don't create expectations you can't keep.
We all know what we eat, drink, smoke or do that is bad for us.
Just take responsibility for what you put in your body.

You can do it!
 
Welcome to my reality!
Bad news is the pain does not go away.

And I'm only 43!

Was working on my car a few weeks ago with the help of a phenomenal GTAMer, and to this day things hurt. My inner right elbow is killing me every time I try to grip / lift something. Even turning my hand the wrong way can send pains up my arm. Hell the joke is I'm pulling IT too hard, but if this wasn't so painful it'd be funny.

Lower back is shot, tender, and hurts in most positions whether standing, laying, or sitting. But that's been going on a while, so who knows.

Does it get better? I've fought the urge to tie up my doctor with these 'minor' issues, but this is getting to the point of annoying when I can't lift up the kids, let alone weights for some mild working out.

unfortunately for you he's mid town - eglington/yonge

Thanks but too far. I had a phenomenal chiro at Yonge and Shepard but I’m no longer working there so if anything I need someone on the west end.

It can get a little better with some healthy living, but for the most part it’s a downhill journey.

Pharmaceuticals help.
